When I did this, support simply suspended (permabanned; it's still listed in my master account) the wrong account and applied the appropriate code to my correct account.

Caffeine has no effect on me. I can - and have - drank a 2 liter of Mountain Dew by myself over the course of an evening (tabletop RPG, arts/crafts, and board gaming, all in one night, from about 8pm to about 2:30am) and didn't have a single problem. My friend, who also drank a 2 liter of Dew over the same evening, had the jitters so bad that she eventually stopped sitting down and did all her stuff standing at the table. She also couldn't talk straight, and had a hard time keeping track of conversation. I went right to sleep when I got to that point, and woke up refreshed in the morning. Apparently my friend didn't go to sleep until the NEXT night.

It's the same every time I've tried to juice myself up. I might get a minor boost, but it could also be attributed to psychosomatic results (I expect to get a boost from caffeine, so my body perks up). And it's not from caffeine tolerance; I have never really injested a lot of caffeine, my whole life, so I can't have built up a tolerance to it. I drink far more water and fruit juice than anything else.

I'm just weird.

It also sucks A LOT because there isn't a surefire way to find my second wind other than just sticking it out until I find it naturally. And sometimes that just doesn't happen and I pass out. I have fallen asleep at the keyboard a couple times (been PC gaming since 1995 and I can count the number of times I've qwertyfaced on one hand, so it's not often) because I was expecting "just a couple more minutes".

Collect them via various in-game activities, then turn them in at the Vanguard crafting terminal.

I have it at its base slot on any character that takes it (tank/brute), and the base slot has chance for psi damage in it. I like Taunt when it's slotted with that proc. It's almost an attack that way. It almost always hits at least one dude taunted, if not more than one. More damage is more damage! It finds its way into a regular rotation in my attack chain.

Nope. Move your camera around until you get a clear click.

Sometimes we do get redname (developer/community relations) responses here in PQ, but it is SERIOUSLY rare. Probably less than 1%, due to the sheer volume of posts/threads in here, and how fast things move.

Because they decided not to?

If you really want the answer, ask someone who knows the answer...we're just players here. PM Avatea and she can pass on the question and maybe (but probably not) get an answer.

Doing what you said won't get your buddy the reference credit. It has to be through Refer a Friend to get the reference credit. The GMs are not capable of inserting people into the Refer a Friend program for someone else.

I'd go a different route: knock all your settings down to minimum, then bump them up until you have a satisfactory combination of pretties and lag.

If you had a forum login, that's your new login.

If you didn't have a forum login, you have to create a new one.

Either way, all your toons and all your badge tracking has been wiped.

Also, use phpBB when exporting your build, not UBB.threads.

Very nearly all attacks that check against elemental defense also check against either smashing or lethal defense. There are comparatively few elemental-only attacks, especially in the 5th.

Crey are a good example for elemental defense, although they also have large amounts of smashing/lethal. Smashing/lethal are the most common attack types in the game, so it'd always be better to gear for S/L over elemental, unless you already start out with considerable elemental defense.
